Power at Sea: Towards High-Performance Seawater Batteries

Scientists develop an efficient synthesis route to produce a novel co-doped anode material for rechargeable seawater batteries

January 31, 2022

Despite the many potential applications of seawater batteries (SWBs), the limited performance of available materials has hindered their commercialization. To tackle this issue, scientists from Korea Maritime and Ocean University have developed a novel co-doped carbon material for the anode of SWBs. Their straightforward synthesis route and the high performance of the developed anode material will pave the way for the widespread adoption of SWBs, which are safer and less expensive than lithium-ion batteries.

Lithium-ion batteries have taken the world by storm thanks to their remarkable properties. However, the scarcity and high cost … Read More →

GIST Researchers Develop Novel Silk-Based Digital Security Device

January 28, 2022

With a break time of 5´ 10⁴¹ years, this novel digital security system is practically unbreachable, say researchers who developed it

Conventional digital security systems are vulnerable to malicious exploits. However, the incorporation of certain components that cannot be physically copied reduces vulnerability and increases digital security. In a first, researchers from the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology have devised one such security system using natural silk fibers. The pathbreaking research promises future sustainable and environmentally-friendly security solutions.
